Schoolchildren Find Lion Cub In Woods Near Rostov-on-Don

Lion Cub found near Rostov-on-Don by schoolchildren

Near Rostov-on-Don, children on the way to school found a lion cub. The animal was found in the village Seyatel in the Salskovo region of Rostov Oblast, local news portal SalskNews reports.

The children who found the young wild cat brought their find to school number 84, where he was put in the sports hall. The director of the educational institution Angelica Chemerisova called the police and the emergency services and reported that there was a lion cub at the school.

In the meantime, it has been decided to leave the animal at the school. Law enforcement agencies are looking for the owner of the lion cub. Presumably, it was able to escape from the travelling zoo “Safari”, currently in Salsk. Another possibility is that the lion cub was left in the street by its owners, who realised that they could not look after a young predator.

It has not been established how long the lion was in the forest for. As the portal “Uznay Vsyo” pointed out, when the cat was found, he appeared scared and hungry. At school number 84, the animal drank thirstily.
